Auburn’s first home game at Jordan-Hare Stadium kicks off on September 12, and the countdown is already on. For buyers who want to be settled into a new home before the stadium fills, the tailgates start, and the fall calendar takes over, now is the window to act. Alexander Scott Homes currently offers a select group of homes across our Auburn and Opelika communities, giving buyers the chance to close and move in before that first Saturday under the lights.
Whether you are a retiree ready to simplify, a growing family searching for more space, or a move-up buyer looking for better design and location, these homes are ready for buyers to make them their own before the season begins.
Why Closing Before Kickoff Makes Sense
Timing a move around football season often feels daunting, but closing now removes that pressure rather than adding to it. Settling in before September 12 means unpacking boxes and arranging furniture happens on a quiet weekday instead of competing with gameday traffic, guests, and a packed fall calendar. Buyers who close early get to spend the first weeks in their new home enjoying the space, meeting neighbors, and setting up for the season ahead instead of racing to catch up once kickoff arrives.
Retirees and empty nesters benefit from the same timing. Closing before the season gets underway means avoiding the scramble of moving during a busy stretch of home games, family visits, and holiday planning that follows close behind. Acting now gives buyers time to settle at a comfortable pace and still be fully at home in time for Auburn’s opening weekend.
Homes to Consider Across Our Auburn and Opelika Communities
Alexander Scott Homes builds thoughtfully designed communities throughout the Auburn and Opelika area, each with its own lifestyle focus. Here is a look at three homes buyers can close on now for a move before the first home game.
3029 Dawson Corner Lane | Dawson Corner
Located in Auburn within the 55+ community of Dawson Corner, 3029 Dawson Corner Lane offers the Bradford II floorplan, a two-story villa with 2,096 square feet, four bedrooms, and four bathrooms. A welcoming covered entry leads into a bright, open main living area where the kitchen anchors the space with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous prep areas for both quiet mornings and lively gatherings.
The main-level primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with a spacious closet and well-appointed bath, and a second main-level bedroom creates a comfortable option for guests. Two additional bedrooms sit upstairs, along with an optional office or loft for work, hobbies, or extra living space. A two-car garage and covered patio round out the everyday convenience of this home.
Dawson Corner residents enjoy a full amenity package, including a clubhouse, fitness center, resort-style pool with cabanas, firepit, pickleball court, grill station, community garden, dog park, and outdoor fireplace. For retirees seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle without sacrificing comfort or design, this community delivers.
3507 Fuller Avenue | Dickson Place
In Opelika, 3507 Fuller Avenue offers a new construction townhome with 1,760 square feet, three bedrooms, and two and a half bathrooms. The open-concept main level includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large kitchen island, creating a natural gathering space for everyday living and entertaining.
Upstairs, the primary suite provides a private retreat with a well-appointed ensuite bath and spacious closet, while additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or a home office. The two-car garage and private patio add everyday convenience, and the HOA covers lawn maintenance, freeing up more time for the things that matter.
Dickson Place sits close to the Opelika Sportsplex, making it a strong fit for families who value recreation and easy access to both Opelika and Auburn amenities. Future amenities will include a community clubhouse, pickleball courts, pool house, resort-style pool with loungers and a pergola, outdoor patio with firepit, hosting green, children’s splash pad and playground, grilling station, complimentary lawn maintenance, and designated community and guest parking with a dropoff point.
200 Plumage Street | Swann’s Bridge
Swann’s Bridge continues to attract buyers looking for a blend of style and flexibility in Auburn. 200 Plumage Street showcases one of the community’s newest floorplans, the Bellview Double Primary, featuring a new construction two-story layout offering 1,534 square feet with two primary bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. The open-concept main level connects the kitchen, dining area, and living room, with a spacious island, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances that make everyday routines and entertaining feel effortless.
What sets this home apart is the layout upstairs, where two generously sized primary suites each offer their own private retreat, complete with spacious closets and large ensuite bathrooms. This flexibility makes the home a strong fit for homeowners, guests, roommates, or multi-generational living. A covered patio with a storage closet and privacy walls extends the living space outdoors, and a garage adds extra convenience.
Swann’s Bridge residents enjoy a clubhouse, pool with lounge seating, grill station, patio, and outdoor fireplace, with lawn maintenance covered by the association. Set close to Auburn shopping and dining, this home pairs everyday convenience with a relaxed, low-maintenance lifestyle.
What to Expect When You Close Before Kickoff
One of the biggest advantages of acting now is the ability to plan your timeline on your own terms, well ahead of Auburn’s opening home games. Many of these homes are complete or nearing completion, which means buyers can move through the closing process without the extended wait of a fully custom build, while still receiving the craftsmanship and attention to detail Alexander Scott Homes is known for.
This approach works particularly well for buyers relocating for work, downsizing retirees, or families who want to be fully settled before the first tailgate of the season. Because these homes are already under construction or complete, buyers can tour the actual home, not just a model or floorplan, before making a decision.
Making Your Move Simple This Season
Choosing a new home does not need to be complicated, especially when a home is already built or nearing completion and ready for its next chapter. Buyers can move forward with confidence and settle in well before the first Auburn home game on September 12 arrives.
Buyers who want to be settled across Dawson Corner, Dickson Place, and Swann’s Bridge before kickoff should act soon. Availability changes quickly, and homes in these communities do not stay on the market long.
